I keep hearing fans on the Final Fantasy series berate blizzard about the upcoming World of Warcraft because of its lack of experience in the area of MMORPGs.
Yet, to my knowledge, Square/Enix have no experience in this area either. Is this true?

Well Square/Enix did recently release FF XI, which is a MMORPG, in Japan and will be releasing it in the US shortly. Don't know much about it though so you'd have to do some digging to see if it's good/bad.
Bioware had no previous experience making computer rpgs before they made Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 (considered by many to be the best computer rpg game ever created)
Didn't they make Planescape: Torment? Or did that come out after BG 1?Quote:

Yes, they made it to. Some say it even better the BG series.Quote:

I think FF XI will be cool, Square has a way with RPGs, now if people are willing to pay for it (mountly fee)is a different story, esp. on the PS2. Buy the HDD and keyboard and the monthly fee? Hard sell. They might can if you get the first year free on the PS2, IMHO.
sony had no mmorpg experience when they did everquest either :)
FFXI has been in Japan for just under a year, so i take it most bugs are worked out and there is nothing to worry about.
"sony had no mmorpg experience when they did everquest either"
Actually, Sony bought Varant after the game was released.
